You can probably find something for Windows that does the same. I'll usually put a browser in one, and depending on what I'm working on, GIMP in another, reading/schoolwork on a third, fourth contains my Pandora app, Pidgin chat and misc other stuff. It's seriously incredible and really makes life easier.
I'm aware of such software, but when I said I have a couple of windows side by side it's because I'm actively using them for my current work. Fortunately, I usually don't need multiple windows when I'm working on digital art, but as I have started learning on modding for ZDoom, I usually have one instance of Slade3 and the web browser showing the wiki, but I sometimes have another window of code that I use as reference to understand the typical structure of code I'm currently working on. I just need to adjust my workspace to make it more comfortable on my laptop.
However, I'll keep that in mind whenever I will have a more complex workspace.
